Less than ten minutes after Sarah's departure, Chacha's father came to ask Chacha's consent to replace Keke married Bastian.
Chacha, who was crying while hugging her knees, washed her face before she opened the door for her father.
"Papa."
"Cha. What was? How come your eyes are all puffy, son?"
"Motherful? No, Pa."
"Cha, you can't lie to me. Your eyes are puffy, like you just finished crying. What was? Tell papa what happened."
"Chacha kangen granny, Pa. Chacha wants grandma to come home soon. Chacha doesn't want to be alone" Chacha said, looking sad.
"Cha, be patient, son. Pray a lot for your grandmother to heal quickly" said the father, bringing Chacha into his arms.
For a moment, Chacha felt the warmth of his beloved father. The sadness in his heart was now slightly lessened.
After he let go of the hug, Chacha asked what the arrival of the papa meant. He pretended not to know what the meaning of the arrival of the father to his house.
"Papa tumben come here. What's up, Pa?"
"Lho, I'm talking tumben anyway, Cha. It's not natural for papa to come to his son's house."
"Yes, Pa. That Chacha means, papa tumben came here on weekdays. Usually, papa comes it's a holiday, Pa."
"Yes. Papa kangen is with you. Besides, there's something you want to talk to me about, son."
"Speak what, Pa? Just tell me what you want to talk about."
"Chacha, papa doesn't know where to talk from, son. Papa's confused."
"Pa, by the way. Don't wear everything. I want to talk to other people about this papa."
"Cha, earlier papa apologized to you. I hope you're not angry with me. And, papa will not force you if you do not want to. Papa wants to ask you, are you ready to get married or not?"
"Pa's."
"Papa just asked, Cha. Papa doesn't mean anything."
"Maaca ... Chacha's ready, Pa. If there is a suitable candidate, Chacha is ready for marriage."
Cahcha tried to speak in a happy tone. He tried to hide the hurt and sad feelings that were in his heart at this moment. He could not have shown his father that he was not ready to marry at all. At the age of just twenty years, he still has not thought about running a household life. But, for the sake of the grandmother who was in great need of medical expenses, Cahcha would do anything he could do.
"Are you sure, son?" ask papa.
"That's sure, Pa. I hope there are candidates for the priest who will bear all my needs. I don't want to be alone like this either" said Cahcha, smiling sweetly as her heart was crying.
"I'm sorry, son. Papa can't give you warmth. You feel lonely due to papa's selfishness," said papa with a guilty tone and a sad face.
"Ne-no, Pa. Cahcha doesn't mean that, Pa. Chacha Intent .... "
'Pa, for grandma's sake, I would do anything. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will do that.' Cahcha speaks in the heart.
'I won't blame papa. Because it's not Papa's fault. I know that papa also has no power to fight in the family. Because of that guilt, papa's weak, Pa.'
"Cha."
"Eh, yes, Pa."
"Given you're ready to get married, papa has a candidate for you. Papa assures me, this candidate fits exactly what you expect."
"Candidate, Pa? Who?" ask Chacha pretending not to know.
"Bastian."
"Bas-bastian?"
"Yes, Bastian. He is the sole heir of the Hutama family. He is handsome and well established. He is the son of a rich man who will certainly be able to finance all your needs. But .. unfortunately, he has a flaw, Cha. Papa's sure, you must know what Bastian's shortcomings are, right?"
"Y-iya, Chacha heard that the young master of the Hutama family was in an accident and he was paralyzed after being in a coma for a month."
"Yes, how sorry is he."
"Yes. But, Pa, isn't Bastian Keke's girlfriend?"
"Yes, she's Keke's girlfriend."
"Why would papa even want to match Bastian with Chacha? Is Keke not angry?"
"Cha, you know Keke right? He will not want to be the same person he considers imperfect. Keke refuses to marry Bastian, but the wedding will be held in two weeks."
"O oh." Chacha answered briefly.
"How's Cha? Do you agree to marry Bastian?" ask papa.
"Maaca .... "
"Papa won't force what you decide, son. Papa will follow whatever your decision."
"Chacha agrees, Pa. Chacha is getting married to Bastian. But .... "
"But what is Cha?"
"What about Bastian, Pa? Does she agree that Chacha married her?"
"That's .. Papa will talk about it again later."
"Oh."
